ORDER
SANDRA J. FEUERSTEIN, District Judge.
The Court's records reflect that the complaint in this action was filed on May 29, 2014. Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides:
If a defendant is not served within 120 days after the complaint is filed, the court — on motion or on its own after notice to the plaintiff — must dismiss the action without prejudice against that defendant or order that service be made within a specified time. But if the plaintiff shows good cause for the failure, the court must extend the time for service for an appropriate period.
Accordingly, if service is not made upon defendant by September 26, 2014, or plaintiff fails to show good cause why such service has not been effected, this action will be dismissed without prejudice. Plaintiff is to provide a copy of this Order to the defendant along with the summons and complaint, and shall file proof of service with the Court.
Plaintiff is required to advise the Clerk of Court of any change of address. Failure to keep the Court informed of plaintiff's current address means the Court will not know where to contact plaintiff and may result in dismissal of the case.
SO ORDERED.
